How Much Tinnitus Compensation Am I Entitled To?

The value of tinnitus compensation claims is determined by several factors. These include:

The extent of the tinnitus;

How the tinnitus has and will affect the victim’s quality of life;

The level of treatment required to help the victim overcome their illness;

Whether or not the illness has affected or will affect the victim financially.

When determining a fair and proportionate settlement demand, a lawyer will take into account all these factors. Tinnitus compensation claims are also made of two distinct parts, which are general damages (the compensation awarded for injuries) and special damages (the compensation awarded for financial losses). These are added together to form a single settlement demand, which is then put forward to the other side.
